Been catching up on @amyhupe.bsky.social's wonderful Systems of Harm podcast and really enjoyed this episode with @tink.uk. Covers a lot from #a11y to #AI and I always find Léonie's perspective valuable.

Dear Amy of Amy's Enchiladas,
Your microwave instructions say to cook for 5 minutes on Medium then 1-2 minutes on Hot. I'm here to say ain't nobody know how to use the medium setting on their microwave. I don't own a microwave for nuanced reheating. You are embarrassing yourself. Please stop.

An enjoyable look at how LLMs work under the hood from @samwho.dev. The whole chain of tokenizers (text chunks), embeddings (vectorized text chunks), transformers (the "T" in ChatGPT), caching (reused chunks), and all the math that goes into returning a response.
